A federal judge has ruled Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely unconstitutional and has issued an injunction halting enforcement of the ban.
Happy Pride, and thank you, federal judiciary!
@georgetakei As much as I want to be happy about this, it doesn't stop the adult HRT ban. The only way to get HRT is through an MD or DO, and you have to fill out a form that literally doesn't exist (a consent form the medical board said they will eventually make, without any kind of indication as to when). This leaves something like 80% of adult trans people in Florida without any means to get their medications.
@GrayGooGirl @georgetakei Well, it’s a small victory at least.
@pyroraptor @georgetakei It's certainly better than nothing and it helps establish precedent.
@GrayGooGirl @georgetakei Maybe it’s naive, but I hope this all backfired and we end up with a ton of trans-friendly court decisions. It’d be nicer if everyone just accepted trans people have the same rights as everyone else though….
